What Would Cause . . .

[BobH]

. . . a newly opened tab in my browser (Firefox) to be scrolled to the bottom of the web page?

One presumes - always dangerous - that the page is marked up with HTML and perhaps CSS and other tools. I've done a little bit - a very little bit - of this sort of mark up but do not recall commands that will open a page scrolled to its end.

If anyone has any insight on this, I would appreciate your sharing it or pointing me to place where I might learn.

Does this happen on all websites, or some, or on a specific one?

[BobH]

It's happening on a specific website although I have noticed on others. I was wondering if there were something included to make it happen or if something were left out that might cause it. If I can identify as being in the HTML I'll notify the webmaster of the site.

...It's happening on a specific website...

Can you share a link to that page, so we can try to replicate what you are experiencing?

Does the link include a bookmark, usually defined with the "#" character? This would open the page and cause it to scroll to a specific position.

Here is the link and a screenshot of what appears when I open it (in Firefox on Win 10) which you will find at the bottom of the page.

When I use the link I land at the top of the page.

Are you using Firefox, Ken?

Sorry, should have said, yes, Firefox. I was on v 89.01 when I first tried but FF has just updated to 89.02. No change in behaviour though, for me, te link lands at the top of the page.

Straight to the top of the page for me. Using MS Edge browser.

This link is to a similar problem dated 2011!

It implies the problem is caused by an add-on or hardware acceleration. Worth looking at??

Thanks, Ken. I'll look into disabling add-ons to see what effect it has. Given your experience and its action in Edge. I'm leaning towards it being a problem on my end; however, I'm perplexed as to why it doesn't affect other web pages.
